About this course

Learn to design and execute scalable and reproducible DNA-Seq analysis pipelines using Nextflow. This specialised course introduces Nextflow workflow concepts, process design, input/output handling, parameters, channels, pipeline execution, and workflow management. Through hands-on exercises, participants will build a complete DNA-Seq pipeline and learn how to integrate bioinformatics tools, manage computational resources, and create portable workflows that can be efficiently executed across different environments. The course provides a practical foundation for modern workflow-based genomic data analysis.
